Reimplementation of madrasah ramah anak in building discipline character of students

This study aims to discuss the implementation and impact of the Madrasah Ramah Anak (MRA) concept on the disciplinary character of students. This study uses a qualitative approach of field research type. This research took place at MAN 1 Sleman. Data collection was conducted through interviews and purposive sampling techniques. The results showed that the MRA program has been implemented following Sekolah Ramah Anak's (SRA) component. They are child-friendly school policy, educators and education personnel trained in children's rights and SRA, child-friendly learning process, child-friendly facilities and infrastructure, and child participation. MRA provides significant changes by shifting rewards and punishments towards a more humanist approach. The implementation of MRA, which is based on Albert Bandura's modeling theory, allows students to imitate the behavior of educators and peers. This modeling involves all madrasah stakeholders. The positive impact is the application of the principle of justice and increased networking with external parties such as BKKBN and Puskesmas. Then, the negative impact is the weakening of students' disciplinary attitude because they seem to feel safe from punishment. The solutions include involving students in competitions and formulating rules-related class agreements. This research is expected to make a scientific contribution to the formation of disciplinary character, especially through the concept of MRA.

Humanistic Pedagogy: Approaches to Enhancing Individual Development in Modern Education

Humanistic pedagogy offers an alternative educational framework that focuses on the holistic development of students, emphasizing autonomy, emotional well-being, and personalized learning. This study explores the impact of humanistic approaches in modern educational settings through qualitative research conducted in three institutions, involving 30 educators and 150 students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The results demonstrate that students exposed to humanistic pedagogy exhibit higher levels of self-directed learning, emotional engagement, and empathy. Teachers, acting as facilitators, foster a collaborative learning environment that promotes individual growth. However, challenges in balancing humanistic flexibility with standardized curricula were noted. This study highlights the need for systemic educational reforms to fully integrate humanistic pedagogical principles, especially in digital and hybrid learning environments. The findings contribute to the discourse on humanistic pedagogy by offering a comprehensive framework for enhancing student development through personalized, reflective, and empathetic teaching practices.

Research and practice in occupational and organisational psychology: Are we learning from the lessons of our history?

Up until recently, there has been a trend to artificially separate the history of scientific development from the activities or the ‘doing’ of psychology. However, a movement away from a history of personalities towards a history of ideas in psychology is evident in recent decades. Thus, attempting to write a chronological or ‘great person’ history of organisational psychology has limited value in that it runs the risk of suggesting a neat and linear progression that reveals little of the different forces that have shaped the development of the field. Thus, in the present paper, I will examine some of the key landmarks in the field and reflect on the key historical factors informing our approach to practice and research in occupational and organisational psychology (OP). This selective review of the field is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather the challenge is to reflect on the two major historical narratives that have shaped the field of OP; namely the scientific management and humanistic. These two narratives have valorised different approaches to the research and practice in OP. The paper delineates how they have been contradictory and/or unconnected, and how this intellectual zoo has had deleterious effects on the development of OP. The scientific management tradition has dehumanised and lessened the role of both the individual and context resulting in both reductive research and practice. Conversely, the humanistic approach, rooted in ethics and social justice, has been allowed to either drift towards other disciplines (e.g. sociology, philosophy) or marginalised to the edges of OP. This paper is a call for us to inject our intellectual history directly into the study of OP.

Unfolding humanistic wine tasting, based on wine professionals’ biographical expressions

In our time, wine-related industries express a growing demand for understanding new ideas about wine. This article explores how professional wine tasters develop their knowledge. Based on the idea of bildung as hermeneutic interpretation, we argue that there are three dominant ideas about how knowledge of wine can be approached: first, as an acquired canon; second, as a systematic tool; and third, as a search process. The intertwinement of these perspectives is exemplified by four autobiographical stories about experiences of learning, working with, and developing wine knowledge. One story is the first author's own autobiography; the others are published works by influential wine tasters. Autobiographical stories add a novel humanistic approach to explorations of wine knowledge, focusing on interpretation of experiences.In the discussion, the three different approaches to knowledge acquisition are related to how they support our understanding of different aspects of wine. We argue that canonic and systematic knowledge tends to be limited to conventional and technical aspects, while knowledge of the individuality of more unconventional wines and their aesthetic aspects is acquired through a search process. With increased influences of humanistic expressions in the world of wine, a greater focus on knowledge-seeking approaches to wine is required.

КРИТЕРІЇ ТА РІВНІ СФОРМОВАНОСТІ ЕМОЦІЙНО-ЕТИЧНОЇ КОМПЕТЕНТНОСТІ МАЙБУТНЬОГО ВЧИТЕЛЯ ПОЧАТКОВОЇ ШКОЛИ

The paper specifies that the emotional and ethical competence of a primary school teacher is the ability of an individual to be aware of his own sensations, feelings, emotions and needs, to manage his own emotional states, as well as to interact constructively and safely with the participants of the educational process on the basis of empathy, in compliance with moral and ethical norms and rules.Based on the analysis of the essence and content characteristics of the concept of «emotional-ethical competence of the individual», criteria and indicators of the formation of emotional-ethical competence of future primary school teachers (cognitive, motivational-value and activity) were developed. The cognitive criterion is characterized by the presence and completeness of knowledge of moral and ethical norms of professional activity, the ability to identify one’s own emotional states and the states of other people, the causes of emotional states and behavior; understanding of modern technologies and means of self-regulation, overcoming stress, aware and empathetic listening, non-violent and conflict-free communication. The motivational-value criterion determines the future teacher's attitude to moral and ethical norms as a component of professional activity, the need to develop emotional intelligence, a humanistic approach to communication and interaction with participants in the educational process. The activity criterion assumes the ability of the student of higher education to apply emotional and ethical competence in communication and pedagogical interaction. Three levels of formation of emotional and ethical competence of future primary school teachers are substantiated: high, medium and low.

La formación docente en la era digital: práctica reflexiva, aprendizaje situado e inteligencia artificial

Teacher training must adapt to prepare new generations in a constantly changing society. This essay proposes a humanistic approach, exploring how reflective practice, situated learning, and artificial intelligence (AI) can be integrated into teacher training, promoting a modern, effective, and human-centered education. Reflective practice is key to the professional development of teachers, enriching them through dialogue and collaboration. Artificial intelligence, despite its challenges, offers great potential for personalizing learning. Teachers must develop digital skills and a reflective attitude to integrate AI in a critical and responsible manner. Education must strive to build a more inclusive world with equity and social justice, providing opportunities for all students to develop their potential. In this sense, critical reflection and technology, at the service of humans, can contribute to this ideal. This essay invites us to reimagine teacher training, where technology and critical reflection intertwine to enhance the integral development of educators and students, building an education that responds to the challenges of the 21st century and trains conscious and responsible citizens.

Peran Pancasila dalam Pembentukan Undang-Undang Anti- Terorisme di Indonesia

This research discusses how Indonesia can integrate Pancasila values in anti-terrorism policies, amidst international pressure which often leads to harsher approaches based on the standards of Western countries. An approach that prioritizes security can conflict with Pancasila principles, such as respect for human rights and social justice. Pancasila as the basic ideology of the state emphasizes the importance of balance between individual rights and the interests of society. In facing the threat of terrorism, Indonesia needs to adopt policies that not only strictly enforce the law, but also prioritize prevention through education, community empowerment and strengthening human values. This research aims to analyze how Pancasila values are implemented in Indonesia's anti-terrorism policy and the challenges that arise in harmonization with international norms. Globalization and technological developments pose new challenges in the spread of radical ideology, so policies are needed that are responsive but still based on Pancasila. Indonesia's anti- terrorism legal policy must be able to balance tough law enforcement with a humanist and dialogical approach, in line with the spirit of Pancasila which upholds just and civilized humanity. It is hoped that this research can contribute to more humane and effective policies.

Humanistic approach in protecting victims of human trafficking crimes

Cases of human trafficking are becoming more prevalent and represent grave abuses of human rights. Both locally and internationally, victims of human trafficking run the danger of being exploited, violent, or infected with contagious illnesses. The Indonesian government has not fully complied with the minimal criteria for safeguarding victims of human trafficking, notwithstanding Law Number 21 of 2007 for the Eradication of the Crime of Human Trafficking. Human rights restoration and respect for victims of human trafficking must be given priority in the implementation of legal protection for these individuals. To strengthen and increase the security of victims’ rights in the future, this study intends to conduct a thorough analysis of the humanism approach model and policies for safeguarding victims of human trafficking. This research uses an empirical technique to support its normative legal analysis. Primary and secondary legal sources are used in this research. The study’s findings show that the protection provided by humanist criminal law for victims of human trafficking is founded on humanitarian principles that derive from the divine principles found in the Pancasila ideology. There are additional requirements for punishment, such as its purpose, its ability to serve as therapy, and its determination to reflect the victim’s and society’s sense of justice. This criminal law is founded on the principles of legality and balance.

Exploring third spaces during pre‐service teacher online intercultural conversations

AbstractWe examined intercultural conversations in English between South African and Dutch pre‐service teachers during a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project. Unlike traditional COIL research, which emphasizes good practices and professional development, our approach explored the significance of everyday conversations in finding common ground. Through video analysis, we explored instances when common ground fostered a third space—a hybrid, in‐between space—with the potential to promote equity and inclusivity. Results highlight how intercultural, professional, and personal conversations created temporary moments of third space. The role of “connection” in a COIL project shows how specific snapshots of intercultural communication and personal and normative conversations give alternative insights into pre‐service teacher professional development. These dynamics suggest the importance of a more humanistic approach through descriptions of small, everyday conversational snapshots. Results in this study confirm that a North‐South COIL project using English as a lingua franca is an effective way to promote inclusion and mutual understanding.

"Dialectics of soul" and other psychological techniques in the novel "The Last Day" by Mikhail Naimy

The object of the study is the novel "The Last Day" by the Lebanese writer Mikhail Naimy. The subject of the study was the "dialectic of the soul" and "stream of consciousness", that is, techniques for describing the human condition borrowed from Leo Tolstoy masterpieces. For one day, the soul of Musa al-Askari overcomes severe suffering, it dies and is reborn in a new form. A small person turns into a strong personality. Psychological techniques for describing borderline human states, taken from Fyodor Dostoevsky, also helped the Lebanese writer to reveal the depths of the hero's personality. The scientific novelty of the article is that the Russian writers' techniques are found in the little-studied Arabic novel "The Last Day" that is an illustration of the Russian literature influence on Arab culture. For the first time in Russian literary study, this novel is analyzed from the "dialectic of the soul" perspective. The research was conducted on the basis of historical, literary, comparative methods, using scientific methods of observation and description, analysis and synthesis. As a result, it is noted that the novel narrative is organized according to the psychological realism, in which there is a psychological analysis passed through the stream of consciousness, an internal monologue and the dialectic of the soul. The authors conclude that Naimy took a humanistic approach and a special psychological manner of narration from Russian literature, including Tolstoy and Dostoevsky's works, to convincingly prove that a person is a fine–tuned mechanism, that kindness will save the world, and the secret of happiness lies in serving people. The practical significance of the research is that its results develop the topic of cultural ties between Lebanon and Russia. The article contributes to the development of Arabic literature, which remains poorly studied by Russian literary study.

Application of Humanistic Learning Theory in Increasing Student Learning Motivation

The educational process must pay attention to the development of potential, character, and learning motivation, not just achieving academic results. The absence of student learning motivation, which can affect their achievement and their involvement in learning activities, is one of the main challenges faced by teachers during the learning process. In this context, humanistic learning theory offers a perspective that emphasizes how important it is to meet a person's psychological and emotional needs so that they can learn optimally and feel valued as individuals. The most important finding of this study is that humanistic learning theory has great potential to increase students' desire to learn. If this theory is applied more widely, it can help solve the problem of lack of desire to learn which has been a problem in the world of education. Theoretically and practically, this study makes a significant contribution to the advancement of science. Theoretically, this study strengthens the idea that the humanistic approach is still relevant in the world of modern education. Practically, this study offers direction to educators to concentrate more on students' emotional needs as one important way to increase their desire to learn. Although this study is very useful, the results cannot be generalized. To find out how humanistic learning theory can be applied to various educational contexts, further studies are needed. This will pave the way for additional research

Role of Probation and Parole Officers in Legal Reform in Indonesia: Addressing Overcrowding in Prisons and Detention Centers

Legal reform is crucial in maintaining justice, sustainability, and progress within a nation. In Indonesia, legal reform involves various stakeholders, including probation and parole officers. Probation and parole officers play a pivotal role in shaping a law-abiding society and significantly contribute to implementing a legal system grounded in restorative justice. This research aims to delve deeper into the role of probation and parole officers in legal reform in Indonesia, particularly after the enactment of Law Number 22 of 2022 on Corrections and Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code. The research methodology includes in-depth interviews with probation and parole officers and policy document analysis. The research findings reveal that probation and parole officers strategically bring the law closer to society through educational and rehabilitative approaches. In the context of reducing overcrowding of inmates in prisons and detention centers, probation and parole officers contribute by adopting a humanistic approach. They assist in improving the attitudes and behaviors of inmates through specially designed rehabilitation programs. This approach aims to educate the inmates and prepare them for social reintegration after serving their sentences. Furthermore, the active involvement of probation and parole officers has significant positive impacts, including decreased crime rates, increased legal compliance, and the reinforcement of justice values within society. Therefore, the role of probation and parole officers must be recognized, supported, and strengthened by the government and relevant institutions to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of legal reform in Indonesia.

Moderasi Beragama di Indonesia: Perspektif Filsafat Chuang Tzu

This article employs an expository-critical approach to Chuang Tzu‟s philosophical concept of equality of things and opinions. Its main purpose is to offer an alternative paradigm for religious moderation in Indonesia. The question that this article addressed is: “What is the relevance of Chuang Tzu‟s concept of the equality of objects and opinions for religious moderation in Indonesia?” This article finds that Chuang Tzu‟s philosophy provides an epistemological and metaphysical basis for religious moderation in Indonesia. Epistemologically, religions are the result of limited human contemplation, construction, and conception dealing with the Infinite Reality. Metaphysically, religions are equal because they originate from one and the same Infinite Reality. This epistemological-metaphysical frame guides different religions in Indonesia to maintain legal-formal commitments regarding the rights and freedoms of every citizen, accept differences and be flexible in religious insights, provide non-violent actions, and respect local wisdom. Finally, this article proposes that all problems that still hinder religious moderation in Indonesia can be solved through a humanist approach to radical religious groups, inter- and intra-religious dialogue, and dialogue between religion and local culture

Confirming the Query Search Method: Balancing AI Advancements in Reference Services

Although artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly become a tool that offers quick, simplistic answers to reference questions (Chen, 2023), in this paper, we interrogate AI’s ability to consider the human-to-human interpersonal nuances that occur and are vital to answering queries. We ask: what is most essential for reference services - human knowledge sharing or the machine’s artificial intelligence? AI, as a mechanistic language model, cannot discern the subtleties of humanity’s questions; AI itself admits that librarians are more efficient at answering reference queries from a humanistic approach and lens (Yang & Mason, 2023). This paper is the second part of our introduction to our methodology for reference services, the Query Search Method (QSM). We present conceptual substantiation that, when enacted, the QSM can incorporate AI as an addition to the librarian’s toolbox for honoring patrons’ ways of knowing that, through the sententiousness of the human experience, invariably seek knowledge beyond “the machine.”

HOLISTIC AND HUMANISTIC: AN ANALYSIS OF WOMEN HEALTH NARRATIVES IN RURAL INDIA

A female’s physical and psychological being is structured around the roles of belief systems and shared culture. The stigma around women’s health in India incorporates many factors, concepts, and theories. A woman’s diagnosis is seen as biologically biased and the medicine in itself is gender biased in practice. The reductionist approach explains an illness through the biological lens and not much favourable to women. Therefore, a holistic and humanistic approach recognises human illness as a whole concept with social, cultural, political, and personal factors. The medical humanities increase awareness of social, humanistic, and cultural dimensions around health. This paper studies two case study based out of rural India which speak comprehensively of possible prejudice and practices in the health sector. The research draws upon a conceptual study through medical humanities approach. Concluding upon the structures of biomedical discourses and how they can affect the agency of women’s bodies and being, and how gender and illness coalesce to reflect upon a woman’s suffering.

Artificial Intelligence for Social Innovation: Beyond the Noise of Algorithms and Datafication

In an era of rapid technological advancement, decisions about the ownership and governance of emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence will shape the future of both urban and rural environments in the Global North and South. This article explores how AI can move beyond the noise of algorithms by adopting a technological humanistic approach to enable Social Innovation, focusing on global inequalities and digital justice. Using a fieldwork Action Research methodology, based on the Smart Rural Communities project in Colombia and Mozambique, the study develops a framework for integrating AI with SI.

The results demonstrate how decentralization can empower marginalized communities in the Global South by promoting digital justice and addressing the imbalance of power in digital ecosystems. The conclusion emphasizes the potential for AI and decentralized technologies to bridge the digital divide, offering practical recommendations for scaling these innovations to support equitable, community-driven governance and address systemic inequalities across the Global North and South.

Language Education for Development: Enhancing Regional Banks' Performance through Illocutionary Speech Act Mastery in Indonesia

This study aims to explain how language plays a significant role in improving the performance of regional development banks in Indonesia. The method used was qualitative with a questionnaire instrument involving 6 regional development banks in Indonesia. Some of the main findings are 24 statements were found, 19 of which fall into 5 categories, namely assertive illocutionary speech acts, directive illocutionary speech acts, expressive illocutionary speech acts, commissive illocutionary speech acts, and declarative illocutionary speech acts. In its implementation, the process emphasizing the humanistic approach scored over 90%. By prioritizing language training initiatives that emphasize the mastery of illocutionary speech acts, regional banks in Indonesia can expect improved operational efficiency, strengthened customer relationships and a more strategic approach to communication, contributing to the overall development and success of the banking sector. This study is limited to the context of only one type of bank, the regional development bank. It is further suggested that there is a strong need to provide adequate and timely capacity building for the employees of regional development banks, particularly in language training as part of public service and satisfaction development.
